Now that we spend much of our time at home, it's hard to decide how to fill our days and be active. Creating chalk art on your driveway is not only a fun way to be outdoors, but can also be a source of positivity for our communities! It would be great if you could join others in our Evergreen neighborhood in pouring your creativity, artistry, and empathy into driveway art, from writing positive messages to drawing beautiful images. Post on your social media page and use #EvergreenDriveway.

Children can ask up to 300 questions per day! Instead of answering right away, encourage curiosity by asking your child to respond. Questions like "What do you think?" and "How can we find out?" get your youngster thinking and exploring.

Smoking or vaping make people more vulnerable to contracting respiratory infections because it damages lung tissue. As we know, COVID-19, a respiratory disease in our lungs caused by the coronavirus, currently poses a threat to our health and community. It is important that we do what we can to boost our immune system so that even if we contract the coronavirus, our bodies can fight the virus successfully. Please encourage your loved ones to stay away from smoking or vaping and/or exposing others to second hand smoke/vape aerosol. Here is an optimal opportunity to cut back or quit as we are practicing social distancing and doing our best to stay healthy during this challenging time. Click above for more information.

Laughter reduces stress and can even help people stay healthier. Make it a tradition to have a regular family comedy night. You might tell jokes, play charades and act out silly scenarios, or watch a funny movie together.
